Fred VanVleet (hip) ruled out again Monday for Raptors
Toronto Raptors point guard Fred VanVleet (hip) has been ruled out for Game 5 on Monday versus the Philadelphia 76ers.
What It Means:
VanVleet injured his hip on Saturday during the first half of the Raptors' Game 4 win and he was unable to return to the contest. Scottie Barnes will likely replace VanVleet in the starting lineup on Monday and there will be more ball-handling opportunities available for Gary Trent Jr. and OG Anunoby. Armoni Brooks, Malachi Flynn, and Thaddeus Young might see additional minutes off of the Raptors' bench due to VanVleet's absence.
Flynn is now numberFire’s top point-per-dollar value on Monday's three-game slate. He has a $3,900 salary and our models project him for 27.6 FanDuel points over 34.4 minutes. Trent ($6,200) registers the largest increase in usage rate (3.7 percentage points) during floor situations with VanVleet off the floor.
